Хороший отель, но скучно по вечерам. Good hotel but boring in the evenings.

The hotel is good, like other hotels in the area, beautiful territory, good rooms, good food, good service, but very boring, in the evening after excursions there is nothing to do in the hotel, no entertainment program, everyone sleeps at 22 o'clock. wi-fi only at the reception and very weak.
I arrived there on April 26 to May 5, the first two days were gorgeous, the sun was warm, the ocean was super, then it started to rain, first an hour, then two, three... every day it rained longer, on the day of departure we sat for 30 minutes in the plane on the runway and waited until the downpour stops, generally not the season.
From this hotel it is very far to go to the sights, any excursion is at least 3 hours (Colombo) one way.
Ask the locals to show you beautiful places that are not described in your itinerary, they have beautiful waterfalls, mountains, plantations, 1-1.5 hours drive from the hotel.

Be sure to buy and eat Mangosteen, this is a very healthy and tasty fruit, you can buy it not far from the hotel, where tea and souvenirs are.
Bargain with everyone! ))) They are very arrogant, I had the feeling that I was in a gypsy village)))
If you have chosen this hotel, then your evening entertainment may be scaring or catching crabs on the ocean, if you get to know the locals they are called beach boys, they will entertain you, catch crabs for you, chop coconuts, invite you to visit.
ThereImetagreatguyHussie http://vk.com/id240917235, who organized interesting excursions, showed beautiful places, told what and where it is better to buy, organized a fun celebration of the day of all workers on May 1. Hussie speaks excellent Russian, lives in Kyiv and there, through him you can buy tea in the future.
Tuk-tuk local transport, from the hotel to the bazaar in Kalutara and back we went for 100-150 rupees.
Money, if not a large amount, can be changed with locals, at a rate better than you change at the airport, in restaurants, and for souvenirs it is also more profitable to pay in dollars. we changed the dollar at the airport $ 1 - 128 rupees, the locals changed us for 130 rupees.
